123 = 1000 For NZ Red Cross
This event has been postponed. Thanks to all of you for expressing an interest in helping the New Zealand Red Cross out! Unfortunately it turns out that Watchmen is not such a great fit for us as a vehicle to get behind the New Zealand Red Cross. Due to the level of brutal violence presented in the film, we have come to the conclusion that both Red Cross and Mosaic could be better represented by a different film. The Watchmen film does have its merits, however its not the best fit for this project. We have decided to postpone the fundraiser until another film has been selected. We are now looking to the future and the films coming out soon to take another go at raising some much needed funds for New Zealand Red Cross and we hope to engage with you on the choice of film. Thanks heaps for your support, we will keep you up-to-date with any other changes. Mosaic is hosting a charity screening of "Watchmen" to raise money for New Zealand Red Cross. New Zealand Red Cross is part of the largest humanitarian organisation in the world, helping people wherever they might be - internationally or in our own communities. Mosaic want to get behind them and encourage Kiwis to buy a ticket to a movie, enjoy a night out, and best of all, give to those in need. If we sell all the tickets to the private screening we will make $1000 to give to an organisation that truly tries to save the world every day. 123 equals 1000. An adaptation of Alan Moore's landmark comic book series, Watchmen is a story set in an alternative 1985, where the world is ticking closer to the brink of nuclear war, and a plot to eliminate a band of ex-crimefighters is instigated. Early reviews are calling it a breathtaking yet brutal take on the graphic novel, "the amazing cinematic achievement we have been waiting for . . . since, well, “The Dark Knight!”. Watchmen is not a story for kids, it is definitely R16, so please do not buy a ticket for anyone under this age. The screening begins at 8:15pm (seating from 8pm), Sunday 15 March, Reading Cinemas Courtenay Central. Contact Adam (mosaicwgtn@gmail.com) to arrange ticket purchase and pickup. Tickets cost $19.00. So round up your mates and commit to a great night out for a great cause. If we sell more that 123 tickets they will give us a larger cinema, so go hard!
Giving to live
There is a lake in the middle of a desert. You would think that it would be the source of life for all that surrounds it, but there is nothing there. The environment is bland; the lake has no fish at all. It is dead. The place is called the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea's lack of life is brought on by one simple fact - the water does not flow out. With this, all the natural sediments that would normally give life build up to a level which is literally toxic, doing the complete opposite to what is intended. Humanity is like this too. If we live for our selfish desires and do not give to something more than ourselves we become toxic. We may live, but many times the life we live is unhealthy, and it isn’t at maximum drive and energy. The healthy giver is then like a river that flows out and gives life to those around it. It gives energy to the surrounding valleys. It does not stagnant. The healthy giver realises that they have a bigger purpose. Their streams bring life and health to those around. As we practice giving, we practice living as healthier people.
Noche Beuna
Its Christmas and time to celebrate. This year we're celebrating Cuban style. The Cuban Christmas is a time to celebrate life with good food, good music, and love - things we value highly in Mosaic. Let us set the scene for you.... The party kicks off at 3pm and will go late into the evening. It's totally up to you when you want to come and join us. It'll be a relaxed afternoon/evening with buffet style food to help yourselves to throughout the party. We will be dining in true Cuban style with the 'main event' being the serving of the rotisserie pig! The music will surely make you want to 'shake your bonbon shake your bonbon', so to quench your thirst (from all the relaxing&dancing..)..there will be a bar serving Mojtos and other tasty drinks. To entertain there will be boardgames and cards scattered over the tables to sit down & play... and later in the evening we will have a Pinata (!!) and games for the kids. So put on your Summer party clothes, grab your family and friends and come and join us to celebrate Noche Buena!
